opinions, god bless
I didn't think I'd have to post here again until Pokémon stopped giving me terrible vibes from X/Y. Actually, I got a chance to play X/Y a little earlier this year and I never mentioned how much I didn't like it, mainly because I was hoping for OR/AS to not repeat the mistake of having the graphics that I dislike so much.

The main thing that I hated about X/Y is that personally, it was slow paced and I can't believe it took me as long as it did to finish the game. I'm honestly not sure if it was my error or if it was the game, because it would normally take me a good day or two of non-stop playing, excluding the normal breaks, in order to finish the story line, or at least to run through the Elite Four and not even hit the Champion. Even then, that took me an entire week to do that, and this was spending more than 17 hours in the game. Actually, at 17 hours, I wasn't even at the 8th gym. I was literally just passing by Frost Cavern, iirc.

Anyhow, I'm not a big fan of the graphics either. Even though I realize you can play without the 3D, the graphics have this terrible habit of hurting my head, which make me have to take at least 5 minute breaks every 2-3 hours. Not bad, but even when I stop playing completely, it distorts my vision afterward. Not the type of feeling I'd like to get after playing the game, that's for sure. Besides the generalization, I actually really like the graphics of the battles in the game, but it was looking a little too glorified with the extra time being put into performing every move. It wasn't worth switching the option to set, so I just lived with it.

Also, what a terrible character development, one of the girls in it is naïve as hell and there's the other persistent girl who just keeps fighting you and annoying you before you go fight a gym leader or something, complete waste of my time. The story was pretty bad too, especially since I lost interest in the game pretty much where all the drama comes up. Fairy types suck btw, they kicked my ass really hard until I got to the Fairy gym. Had to step it up a bit.

Overall, I personally don't like the new change or anything, like I said before, I heard it wasn't the best work that Nintendo has spewed out of their asses but I'll take it. Loyal fan status, indeed.

No matter what I've said however, I'm still looking forward to these remakes. I hope they change how I feel about generation VI or else I'm going to just have to deem these two the worse games I've ever seen in my life.

- love all of the mega evolutions that they have announced except for mega sabley lack of inspiration strikes again
Personally I don't even know anymore, it's the worst mega evolution I've ever laid eyes on. C'mon, they could do so much better. I didn't exactly see all of the mega evolutions out but holy god, please.

I like both Diancie and Mega Diancie. Too bad we can't rename it ._.
So what is this Pokémon, is it just a random event or does this tie into the storyline if anyone knows by any chance? Looks pretty but it kinda does look like a rock with a mineral stuck to its head. I'm not liking it or the name...

I don't want to spoil anything, so you'll just have to either look it up (AKA a leak) or wait till the distribution to see for yourself.

On a related note: I can't wait for its movie *w*
Trash Boat
so secret bases, mix records, primal evolutions, new mega evolutions, a possible Eon ticket event.... the only thing missing is a Jirachi event because that was a goddamn hard Pokémon to get
NaomiMinette
Maybe if you didn't get the Colosseum Bonus Disc... Also, there wasn't any footage shown for Secret Bases and Mixing Records yet. Anyway...

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Mega Sableye

Further details have been revealed about the Pokémon, Mega Sableye. It is confirmed that Mega Sableye retains its Dark/Ghost-type, but rather than keep any of the abilities, it gets the ability Magic Bounce. It has increased Defense and Special Attack stats, but decreased Speed. During battle, Mega Sableye shelters itself behind the jewel, from where it can take advantage of any openings its target leaves exposed.
Guess that answers that.
La Volpe
Sorry if someone already posted this, notice the silhouettes, is it all the megas we will have for the Heonn remakes or there is more to come?

NaomiMinette
Something tells me that's fake, but we'll just have to wait and see (or until CoroCoro leaks more stuff).
mm201
Did someone forget to fill the Magenta ink on their printer or something?
Also fwiw, none of the silhouettes are Megas--they're the ordinary Sugimori artwork of those Pokémon.
Looks like some fan decided to put together a poster containing already verified information.
NaomiMinette
That being said, I'm sure there's A LOT of people wanting Mega Milotic and/or Mega Metagross.
La Volpe
I was skeptical too when I saw it, but I thought it was worth posting it on here..
Jinxy
My opinion, well if you can call it an opinion, is that's fake as all hell. Also note it has a M-Diancie screenshot (taken from the videos) but no diancie silhouettes

Also, dunno if the code's unique or how the Online TCG works but I got an email for a EX-Garchomp if anyone (read: trash) wants to or can use it: 6YN P33J 5AD FKJ

I'M IN LOVE RIGHT NOW, damn, fanboy mode on. Too bad I don't play the TCG though, still looks amazing.

Also, if you guys haven't been in the loop, Skotein, who is in Pokémon Reorchestrated, has released another full album Double Team!. I think that album has two themes from every generation, iirc, I'm not too sure, I could be a little generous about that.
I think it's worth a buy, you all should totally listen to his music if you haven't touched up on it. It's really, really worth it. I think he's considering remaking the Johto themes, since he already did a Kanto Symphony.

I love me some nice compositions!
Thank you for this info, i will totally try to peak into some tracks because i can't have enough orchestra blasting while i try and regain ideas for creative purposes. (my main genre to listen if i wanna chill out and do free-form work)

So yeah i really have nothing to add here- just surprised about the music and that's basically it~
NaomiMinette
Yeah, I'm just waiting for CoroCoro at the moment.
Trash Boat

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire

It has been confirmed that Secret Bases have returned to Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, now known as Super-Secret Bases. As before, Secret Bases are created by using the move Secret Power on various parts of the Hoenn region including on walls and in trees. You can even set battle rules in your Secret Base. Players will be able to share their Secret Base with other Trainers around the world using StreetPass functionality, or they can create a QR Code for their unique Secret Base, enabling friends to visit it with ease. When visiting other Secret Bases, players can meet other Trainers in the same base and invite them back to their own Secret Base as Secret Pals. Players can interact and battle with Secret Pals, who have special skills that can support players in their adventures, such as sharing new Decorations, making a Pokémon Egg hatch faster, or raising the level of a select Pokémon by one. The more Secret Pals players have in their Secret Base, the more special skills will be available to help them in their adventures. Players can also capture flags while visiting other players’ Secret Bases. Flags are located beside the Secret PC in each Secret Base. The more flags a player collects, the higher the rank earned, which brings rewards like improving the skills of a player’s Secret Pals. A new character called Aarune has been revealed for this, and he is the Secret Base Expert. He currently resides in Hoenn, but is a world traveler, and has a Flygon
Secret Bases pics can be found here (scroll down to July 8th 2014).
Trash Boat
i knew it
NaomiMinette
The fact that they're "moving" O-Powers to Secret Base Trainers probably means we won't be seeing the same PSS again (if it even returns at all).

Also, I'm guessing we're gonna need a whole section for QR codes once the games come out, huh?
Sapphiire_old_1
Another feature included is the ability to set Battle Rules. This allows for you to turn your Secret Base into a small Gym with yourself as the Gym Leader. The full extent of these rules are not currently known, but they include being able to set the battle type such as Single Battle or Double Battle.


Ok that is just the best thing EVER :o

We're totally making the osu pokemon league a thing right, with specific types and all

Would be nifty if it gets the ability "Levitate" after the mega evolution

that would explain about why it shows its claws in the picture

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire - Details

The Pokémon Company International has sent out a release detailing more about the news that has come this past week. In this release, it shows footage of Mega Metagross confirmed to have Tough Claws, as well as the reveal of the Pikachu appearences: Pikachu Belle, Pikachu Rock Star, Pikachu Pop Star, Pikachu Ph. D, Pikachu Libre.
Edit @ 15:15: More details on Mega Evolutions. Mega Diancie receives a big boost to its Speed, as well as boosts to its Attack and Sp. Atk, while experiencing a reduction in its Defense and Sp. Def. Mega Metagross also has a greatly increased Speed stat, with additional increases in its Attack, Defense, Sp. Atk, and Sp. Def, making Mega Metagross primed for both offense and defense.
Edit @ 15:30: Following amiguity with the Canadian release date last month, where it was listed solely as November, we now have confirmation that the games will arrive in Canada on November 21st

Laharl
I'm looking forward to a new Mystery Dungeon game. >_>
Jinxy
Diancie turns into a sweeper, huh. That first-turn 50 speed after megaing is a pretty bad drawback though

Hopefully one where we can actually play as all 700+ Pokémon ._.
Trash Boat
some Pokémon are just too big and heavy to have integrated Levitation, so my guess is that Mega Metagross ability is Heavy Metal or something
